The Disco Palace kommt gerade mit an sich gar nicht so schlechtem Signal
aus Bonaire hier in DRM auf 15745 kHz an. Leider sind die Anforderungen
mit 20 kBit Mode B. doch recht hoch, so dass ich hier doch einige Dropouts
verzeichnen muss. Dennoch ingesamt nett im Audio.
Auf 15760 kHz laeuft das Programm auch//analog zu 15745DRM zu
Vergleichszwecken.

Auch im Sueden gut dekodierbar. Ueber S=9+30dB, SNR22dB, 18,44kbs wird
angezeigt, nahezu aussetzerfrei.

March 9 at 1439, no TDP DRM on 15745, nor TDP AM on 15760, so must have
been a one-day-only test March 8. Andy Sennitt got the details from Jan
Peter Werkman at RN.
"Hi Andy, Yes we did the DRM as planned on 15745 kHz and when it was on
air we also decided to do it in AM on 15760 kHz to compare AM and DRM.
Than a few minutes later we also tried 17840 kHz on 50 degrees in AM on
the 3rd transmitter to compare propagation between 15760 and 17840 kHz.
But this test only lasted a few minutes as the SWR was not good so we
decided to shut down that transmission. This all at about 1300 UT. I am
not aware of any other tests on 17 MHz later. Maybe Bonaire was testing on
a dummy load. I don't know.
The main purpose of this test was to try to feed the DRM data from the DRM
content Server to the modulator in Bonaire via Internet as an MDI-stream
for the first time. This was successful. Regards JP"
So it looks like 17840 must have been Bonaire too, as who else would be
running RN programming on the same frequency later the same day? But it
was certainly no dummy load.
About The Disco Palace, the domain
has been registered by TDP, so it appears it is
really just another facet of Transmitter Documentation Project itself.
The website is attributed to someone in Belgium. Give the homepage time to
morph the virtual palace from day to night. Doubt we would find it on the
8th floor of a Miami building as given in the contact info; and do Alyx &
Yeyi, what strange names, really exist? Maybe someone would drop in for a
visit.
